Chapter 284: Christmas Eve III
Subtitle of this chapter: I come, I see, I change.
The great powers of the planet have one thing in common, and that is that they all have a political capital and an economic capital. For example, China, the United States and the Soviet Union, the three leading powers, China is the imperial capital and the magic capital. The Soviet Union was Moscow and Leningrad, and of course Petrograd is still called Petrograd, which was only changed in 1924. And American imperialism is, naturally, Washington and New York.
For our Master Yuan, New York can be his starting place, and of course, as a master of culture and economics, there are great benefits to staying in New York. Not to mention the others, how many famous schools are there around here.
It's just that if you want to change the general trend of history, you must go to Washington...... Well, it's definitely more than once. It's like he's actually a demon capital, but after returning to China, he will definitely go to the imperial capital to pretend to be a force.
In fact, in a few years, he will finally find that the best city in the United States for him is Los Angeles, after all, the places he really wants to pour his heart and soul into are on the Pacific coast.
So, he created such an opportunity for himself, and the opportunity came as he expected.
Mr. Baker Sr. lit a cigar and asked as if chatting, "Neo, I heard Louis say that the NYPR will start broadcasting in a few days?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Baker."
I heard the old man ask casually, "Neo, what do you think of Louie's behavior this time?" ”
This question made Yuan Yanqian frown, your grandson's performance asked me what to do?
Still, he honestly replied, "Well, that's very good." To be honest, I didn't expect him to be so suitable for this job. ”
"Hehe......" Old Mr. Baker nodded slightly and chuckled, "Neo, I won't tell you that I will really retire next year, and everything will be handed over to Little George." He is also a family-oriented person and will definitely not embarrass his nephew. But ......"
Master Yuan's heart sank, the most important words were behind the "but".
"The Miracle of Wall Street" said lightly: "But I want you to help Louie more, after all, his father only has such a son as him." ”
Yuan Yan said in her heart, the big family just has too many broken things, and it is better to be an only child. This is obviously a warning not to get too close to his son, but to become his grandson's helper. As for the reason...... If you think about it, you're scared, so you have to think about it.
In fact, this old guy really thinks too much, he can live for more than ten years, and now he doesn't have to worry about the future.
"I see." Master Yuan said solemnly, "Louis is my friend and my brother. We Seris have a proverb that a brother is like a hand and a foot, and a wife is like a garment. Hands and feet cannot be changed, but what about clothes......"
"You can prepare a few more clothes like you, and they are all beautiful. Hahaha......" said Old Mr. Baker with a smile.
"Hehehe......" Yuan Yanqian's old face turned red, and she had to laugh a few times.
"Whoa."
Old Mr. Baker opened the drawer, took out a beautifully decorated box, and handed it to him, "Neo, this is my Christmas present to you." ”
"It's ......"
Our Master Yuan opened the box and took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a watch that looked very beautiful, but there was no logo on the surface. In accordance with Western etiquette, he also unceremoniously picked up his watch and looked at the inscription on the back of the cover, Haydn-C-Holuns, 1920.
Haydn C. Hollen ...... I rubbed it, this is a watch made by the Spanish watchmaker Howlenshi! And he just did it this year, you must know that he is now 87 years old, and he can make a few watches this year.
A hundred years later, the brand was not so high-profile, and his name was not as famous as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, or Blancpain, but at that time he was the world's leading master of watchmaking. Morgan Jr. was very fond of collecting his work.
Sure enough, he is a rich man, and he is such a valuable gift as soon as he makes a move.
Without hesitation, Yuan Yanqian took off the miscellaneous watch on his wrist, took this piece of Hao Lun poem, and proudly raised his hand for Mr. Old Baker to take a look.
But instead of being angry, the "Wall Street Miracle" burst out laughing.
He smiled and asked, "Neo, do you know what I admire most about you?" ”
Master Yuan thought for a moment, and finally shook his head.
Mr. Baker Sr. suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "What I admire most about you is that you don't look like Chinese at all. Well...... Don't get me wrong, not only are you not like you Chinese, you are not like us Americans, and certainly not from other places. It's ......"
People of the future!
Yuan Yanqian made up the answer for him in his heart. This old fox's vision is too poisonous, and he certainly does not look like the Chinese of this era, because he is the future Chinese. He certainly doesn't look like a non-Chinese of this era, because he is a future Chinese.
The Chinese of the future will be a completely new nation. Because the future China they live in will be a brand new country!
In that original line of history, your country was born of injustice, but it was able to dominate the world. Then in this timeline, I want my country to be born to glory, and I want to end your hegemony as soon as possible.
If history cannot be changed, then why am I here?
If history can't change, then why should I continue?
If history can't change, then why should I......
How can there be so many whys, I come! I'll see you! I'll change!
Why should a manly man be afraid, anyway, it's better than me coming, I copying, and I don't change.
I only listened to the old man's earnest teaching: "In short, you are not an ordinary person. But no matter how lofty a person's vision is, he must also pay attention to the bumps under his feet. I gave you this watch because I want you to remember that the present moment is the most important thing. ”
Our Master Yuan was indeed a little moved after hearing this, and he said solemnly, "Thank you for the gift and your words, Mr. Baker. I'll keep it in mind. ”
It's just that he also said very seriously in his heart, but my decision will not change.
"Alright, let's get out."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Baker. There's one more thing I want to trouble you. ”
"Neo, say it."
"Mr. Baker, I would like to meet Mr. Rockefeller."
"John Rockefeller Jr.?!"
There is no creativity in naming these people Mao, Baker and his son are called George, Morgan and his son are called John, and Rockefeller and his son are also called John. This really made Yuan Yanqian, a future Chinese, unable to complain.
"You're looking for him for...... Forget it, I don't care if I'm retired. That's fine, I think he'd like to meet a young man like you. ”
